I was reading a book and came across the following sentence:
“We’d gone from living under apartheid to living under another kind of tyranny, that of an abusive, alcoholic man.”
Excerpt From
Born a Crime

I wanted to ask is the use of comma before that of correct here? I believe that refers to tyranny so it’s basically an absolute phrase modifying the tyranny. I will appreciate if the grammar pundits could weigh in here. Thank you!

Yep...that's a resumptive modifier. Resumptive modifiers are generally preceded by a comma and hence, the comma in this sentence does not look out of place.
